FAQ'S


A non-banking financial company (NBFC) that primarily receives deposits in a lump sum or in installments through various schemes or contributions falls under the category of a residuary NBFC.

A company is registered as an NBFC by the RBI when over 50 percent of its total assets and more than 50 percent of its gross income come from financial assets, making financial activities its primary business.

NBFCs with an asset size of ₹500 crore or more, as per their latest audited balance sheet, are designated as systemically important NBFCs. This classification is made because the activities of these NBFCs can impact the financial stability of the broader economy.

NBFCs engage in lending and investments similar to banks but have some key distinctions:
* They can't accept demand deposits.
* NBFCs are not part of the payment and settlement system and can't issue checks.
Deposit insurance by organizations like the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation isn't available to NBFC depositors, unlike bank depositors who enjoy such insurance coverage. These differences highlight the unique characteristics and limitations of NBFCs compared to traditional banks.

Financial businesses, like insurance and stock companies, have specific regulators mandated by law. For instance, IRDA oversees insurance, SEBI manages merchant banking, venture capital, and stock broking, while NHB regulates housing finance. These regulatory bodies ensure compliance and supervise these sectors, fostering a secure and stable financial environment.

The Reserve Bank of India oversees Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) involved in lending, acquiring shares, stocks, bonds, and financial leasing. This regulatory role ensures the proper functioning and reliability of NBFCs in diverse financial activities.
